Results for tag: "Silyl Modified Polymer"

Silyl Modified Polymer (SMP) is a type of plastic that has been modified with silyl groups. These groups are added to the polymer backbone to improve the properties of the plastic, such as its thermal stability, chemical resistance, and flame retardancy. SMPs are used in a variety of applications, including automotive, medical, and consumer products. They are also used in the production of coatings, adhesives, and sealants. SMPs are typically produced by reacting a silylating agent with a polymer. This reaction creates a covalent bond between the silyl group and the polymer backbone, resulting in a modified plastic with improved properties. The SMP market is growing due to the increasing demand for high-performance plastics. The market is expected to benefit from the increasing demand for lightweight materials in the automotive industry, as well as the growing demand for medical-grade plastics. Some companies in the SMP market include Dow Chemical, Evonik Industries, BASF, and Solvay. Show Less Read more
